He didn't do it on saturday night.

Props to Cotto for wanting to go on though, You won't find anyone calling Cotto a quitter anymore.
Honestly if Santiago would have stopped it in the 9th he would have been fired. Cotto has an issue now with knowing it all and being surrounded by yes men. This will only hurt him going forward.
Yeah i see what you mean.

Had i been Cotto's trainer, my job would of been the last thing on my mind, Cotto's health would of come first.

Whether he would of liked the decision or not doesn't matter as long as he was no longer taking punishment.
